Paloma Faith thinks David Bowie is the last great pop star.
The 'Can't Rely On You' singer reckons pop is dead because of social media and fans know too much about their idols.
She told the Daily Star newspaper: "There's no mystery or excitement about being a pop star any more.
"People know everything now, there's no stone unturned with social media."
The 32-year-old star, who has about 460,000 followers on Twitter, praised Bowie for winning the BRIT Award for Best British Male at the ceremony last month.
She said: "It was brilliant that David Bowie won a BRIT Award and totally deserved, he's an incredible artist and the last of a generation."
The singer wishes her fans didn't know as much as they do about her personal life but realises she needs to be active on social media websites to help sell her music.
Paloma continued: "Originally when I got in the music business I wanted to be mysterious but I realised I wouldn't get anywhere so became really open. It's the only way to sell records now."
The star has just released her new album 'A Perfect Contradiction' and revealed the track 'Mouth To Mouth' was inspired by 'Purple Rain' hitmaker Prince.
She said: "I recorded that with Raphael Saadiq after we met at a Prince concert.
"So we honoured that situation by paying Prince his dues in the studio. I was inspired by early Prince and Chaka Khan records, cool late 70s and early 80s soul ... I think we could all do with a bit of dance now."
Paloma will head out on tour in May but is keeping tight-lipped about her upcoming shows.
She added: "I've already started looking into some ideas for the tour, but I don't want to ruin the surprise."

Lil Wayne is recording his 'final solo album'.
The 31-year-old rapper is reportedly planning to retire and only focus on collaborations after his upcoming 11th studio album 'Tha Carter V' drops in May.
He told MTV: "I personally plan on this being my final solo album, yes, and it's definitely the final Carter album. It's the final Carter album. It's stopping at five."
Lil Wayne joked he would only record another solo album for "$25 to $35 million", adding, "I didn't smile when I said it."
The star, who founded record label Young Money Entertainment in 2005, which signed hip-hop stars Drake and Nicki Minaj, has reassured fans he will still work with his artists and collaborate with other stars.
He continued: "I plan on it being my final solo album. Whenever I have to pitch in for a Young Money album, a 'Like Father, Like Son' album and something like that and maybe something out the blue."
But he insists he's working hard on his next record, saying: "It seems like it will be impossible for me to work this hard again for anything else."
Lily Wayne's album 'Tha Carter V' will be released on May 5.

Britain's Prince Charles is taking lessons in "grandfatherhood".
The 65-year-old Royal welcomed his first grandchild last year when his son and daughter-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, had their first child, Prince George, and yesterday (12.03.14) he claimed he'd been taking lessons in how to be a good grandfather after a crying baby interrupted his speech at the Prince's Trust and Samsung Celebrate Success Awards.
He said: "I know when something needs a bottle. It's time to give it a bottle.
"I've been taking lessons in grandfatherhood.
"I'm getting used to this and I know when something needs a bottle - or maybe it's something else."
The Prince of Wales - who is Queen Elizabeth's eldest son and the heir to the throne - also thanked TV hosts Ant and Dec for their continued involvement in the awards during his speech.
Celebrities including Joan Collins, Dominic West, Sir Ben Kingsley and Jeremy Irons also attended the event at the Odeon in London's Leicester Square, where 23-year-old Danielle Fisher - who was presented with the Breakthrough Award - thanked the Prince's Trust for helping her to overcome depression.
She said: "It's amazing how people like Prince Charles want to support you. When I was up on stage he said to me, 'It's alright'.
"I never thought I'd be able to turn my life around but I have."

'The Only Way Is Essex' stars have been scolded for not acting professionally on set.
Certain members of the ITV reality show have reportedly been told off by programme bosses who said they weren't taking the filming of new episodes and promotional material seriously, and were instead fooling around and complaining about the length of time it took to shoot certain scenes.
A source said: "It became clear that as the cast aren't professional actors, some of them don't understand the fact that if they are late or messing around, it costs time and money and can turn into a bit of a nightmare.
"There was a lot of moaning from everyone about the length of time everything was taking too - which got the backs up of all the other, more professional people on the shoot who had turned up on tim."
The series - which won a BAFTA award in 2011 - has recently begun its eleventh series, and although many stars such as Mark Wright, Lucy Mecklenburgh and Joey Essex have left the show, veterans including James 'Arg' Argent, Sam Faiers and Chloe Sims remain, but it seems certain members of the current cast are having trouble behaving on set.
The source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Obviously it wasn't all the cast behaving badly but bosses wanted to ensure everyone received the message.
"The cast were sternly reminded that they are in fortunate positions and that their personalities are their livelihood."

Scarlett Johansson has had marriage proposals because of her muffins.
The 29-year-old actress - who is engaged to French journalist Romain Duariac and was previously married to Hollywood hunk Ryan Reynolds - claims she whips men into a frenzy with her master baking skills.
The keen cook said: "My signature baked good is a vegan banana chocolate chip muffin ... I can modestly say I have had marriage proposals from those!"
The 'Under the Skin' star, who is believed to be pregnant with her first child, also revealed she has accepted notoriety is part of her job and no longer tries to act "normal", as she now has an easier time feeling comfortable that fans will be inquisitive about her personal life and her whereabouts.
She explained: "I see some young actors and young celebrities today desperately trying to fit back into society, which I totally understand. But really, once you accept your fate as someone who's a recognisable person, who's no longer anonymous, I think you have a much easier time fitting in than if you are constantly trying to be 'normal'."
But Scarlett admits she hasn't always been so comfortable in her own skin and felt particularly down when nude pictures - intended for then-husband Ryan - were leaked onto the internet.
She told the Metro newspaper: "Several years ago I had that whole awful hacking incident, which made me feel so paranoid. But I am trying not to let it affect me.
"The trappings of this job mean I always feel like I'm protecting not just my personal life but my family, my partner, my lifestyle, my address, everything."

Oprah Winfrey is releasing a new book.
The media mogul will publish a collection of essays, entitled 'What I Know For Sure', which will be compiled from the monthly piece she has published in O, the Oprah Winfrey Magazine for the last 14 years on September 2.
The essays will be grouped in the book by theme, with topics covered including gratitude, joy, awe and possibility, and the tome will "offer a rare, powerful and intimate glimpse into Oprah's inner life - her thoughts, struggles and dreams - while providing readers a guide to becoming their best selves."
Meanwhile, Oprah - who has previously published two weight loss manuals and a behind-the-scenes guide to the making of 1998 movie 'Beloved' - has paid tribute to her best friend Gayle King.
The 60-year-old talk show host has been close to her pal for almost 40 years after they bonded over bad weather which led to Oprah lending Gayle some underwear.
She is quoted by the New York Post newspaper as saying: "I want to say officially how proud I am of my friend Gayle King.
"Back a lifetime ago, 1976, Baltimore. We were both on a local TV station. She was a production assistant. I was an anchor. We became friends, especially after a big snow storm. When she couldn't go out, get home and didn't have enough clothes, I said, 'OK, you can have my underwear.' But then I added, 'And don't return it.'
"When time came and things happened to me, I asked her to quit her job and come to my new Oprah magazine to help me. But the truth is, the whole time I felt guilty taking her away from TV because I know how much she loved it.
"And now she's doing so well, and I'm thrilled for her. Mostly because at least she can have her own underwear."

Miley Cyrus' giant tongue "badly injured" a crew worker, a lawsuit claims.
Charles Nicholas Sarris has filed a claim against ShowFx Inc., the Los Angeles-based equipment supply company which was hired to make the novelty mouth slide for the 'Wrecking Ball' star's 'Bangerz' tour, in which he claims he suffered an accident while working on the construction of the prop.
According to gossip website TMZ, Mr. Sarris says the equipment and tools provided to him by the company failed, causing him to fall and badly hurt himself last month.
In the lawsuit, he claims ShowFX failed to warn him about the potential dangers and is suing for unspecified damages.
Earlier this week, Miley was forced to perform her track '23' in her underwear after missing her costume change during a gig.
She tweeted: "not a new outfit for 23 I didn't make my quick change and I couldn't not come out for the song so I just had to run out in my undies 🙁
"Never happened to me before. But I love my fans as much as they love me! I couldn't miss 23
"Show must go on 🙁 (sic)"
Miley kicked off her raunchy world tour in Vancouver, Canada, last month and came under fire for antics such as simulating a sex act on a man wearing a Bill Clinton mask, but she insists she gave fans a pre-warning her shows would be X-rated.
She previously wrote on Twitter: "You can't say I didn't warn you. Now sit back relax & enjoy the show. #bangerztour (sic)"

Ashley Roberts says The Pussycat Dolls will be getting back together.
The 32-year-old star and her former group mates have all gone their separate ways since splitting in 2010, but she claims they will "definitely" be reuniting to bring back their hits such as 'Don't Cha' and 'When I Grow Up'.
When asked if there were plans for a reunion, she said: "I don't know, I really don't. Never say never, but I know at the moment we're all on our own paths right now.
"Definitely someday. Not quite yet. It will happen when it's supposed to."
Ashley - who competed on the ITV reality show 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here' in 2012 and has since gone on to judge on 'Dancing on Ice' - claims that although the rest of the dolls, Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt, Jessica Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton are busy with their own projects at the moment, she's keen to get back to working on music.
She told OK! Magazine: "I'm a music baby, that's the heart and sole of me. I'm going back to my roots."

Tina Fey has denied reports that there will be a 'Mean Girls' reunion movie.
The 43-year-old comedienne - who wrote the original film - has shot down rumours that there could be a sequel after it's star, Lindsay Lohan, last week revealed she'd been approached by Fey and added that there could be a 10th anniversary project in the works.
Fey told Access Hollywood: "[There's] definitely not a movie. It's just the anniversary is coming up, so everybody get your pink shirts. It's been 10 years. You can tell when you look at me it's been 10 years."
The former 'Saturday Night Live' star didn't completely rule out any kind of reunion for the cast - which included Lindsay, Rachel Adams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert - but said there definitely isn't going to be a follow up to the catty high-school comedy.
She explained: "I said to her [Lindsay], 'Oh, I think someone may call us about doing some kind of reunion because next month is the tenth anniversary of the movie.' And so really... if everyone's around we might try to do some kind of like panel discussion.
"But it's not like - it's not another movie. At most it would be like a panel discussion with a plate of hot wings."

Charlie Condou says Marcus Dent and Maria Connor's split was "inevitable".
The actor has been at the centre of a sordid love triangle in 'Coronation Street' of late, cheating on his girlfriend - played by Samia Ghadie - with Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley), and he admits he foresaw a messy split for Marcus and Maria.
Charlie exclusively told BANG Showbiz at the TRIC Awards in London: "He loves her very much, but this is soap - it's never gonna end well! When they told me about the storyline of Marcus and Maria getting together, I knew it would end in tears at some point. It was inevitable."
Things will go from bad to worse next week when scheming Todd arranges for Maria to walk in on him and Marcus in the middle of a tryst, but Charlie has defended his alter-ego and insists Marcus can sense he is being used by Todd.
He said: "I think he's not stupid, Marcus ... he's already getting a sense that he's being played, and I think that comes out quite quickly. Todd knew that Maria was coming, but Marcus is very attracted to Todd and there's a lot of chemistry there, he can't keep away from him.
"It's head and heart in a lot of ways ... I think he's trying to fight off the inevitable. There's going to be a lot of heartache coming in the next few weeks."

Roger Lloyd-Pack was originally scripted into the new 'Only Fools and Horses' sketch.
The late Trigger actor - who passed away in January following a battle with pancreatic cancer - had expressed his desire to star in the charity special with Sir David Jason, Nicholas Lyndhurst and football legend David Beckham before his untimely passing.
The new sketch was written by Jim and Dan Sullivan, the sons of show creator John Sullivan, who passed away in 2011.
Jim said: "It has been emotional, and dad was never far from our thoughts during the whole process.
"And, of course, we were all shocked and saddened at the news of Roger Lloyd Pack's death. We had originally written Trigger into the sketch and Roger was supportive of the whole thing.
"We had heard he had been unwell but had no idea how serious it was. It wasn't until shortly before filming that we heard he was too poorly to perform, such was eagerness to be involved - a true testament to his character."
The Sport Relief sketch was conceived when David, 38, approached the brothers about doing a charity special and the duo were taken aback by what a big fan the retired football player is of the sitcom.
Jim told Radio Times magazine: "We had no idea and it was lovely to meet him and hear him talk about his favourite episodes and scenes, and how his son, Brooklyn, is now also a fan."
